Chapter 1278: Cap 1276: Detective Zenos part 3

I was inside a hotel room with a body on the floor, the corpse had a distorted smile on its face.

"Are you sure you can trust him?" (I)

"Yes, he is an old acquaintance, one of my subordinates, if he chose to make a contract, I don't believe that this person is bad." (Byakko)

"What did you think of him Kira?" (I)

"He hid his presence very well and set up several traps around me without me noticing, he also pretended to have several openings in his posture to make me attack him, he also hid his true strength by pretending to be someone of the same level as me." (Kira)

"You said he uses a Spear as a weapon, which is also his Contracted Spirit, so I can imagine his way of fighting." (I)

As someone who created games, the biggest problem was always the story and how this was reflected in the mechanics of both main and secondary characters or even NPCs.

One thing I always liked were characters who deceive others, whether by revealing themselves to have a personality that no one knows, pretending to be weak when in fact they are strong, a Mage who pretends to be a warrior to catch his enemies off guard and in this case a Shaman posing as a spear user.

The spear is his own Spirit, so he shouldn't use it as a normal weapon, he pretends to be something while hiding his true attack with traps and tricks, I like that.

"You can meet with him, but take Vallar with you, it might avoid some problems and don't reveal any information about us just about the Albus." (I)

"Okay, I'm going to meet him now." (Kira)

"I trust you." (I)

I see electric sparks around Kira's body as he disappears, his speed has increased again.

"His mind doesn't have many things, but he's been dead for 2 days, other than that I haven't found a cause of death as Kira described." (Haku)

"Do you know anything about death, sister?" (I)

"We got to this one through the one you killed, we have no doubt that he was at least a High Priest and had a blessing, I can feel traces of that kind of power inside his body." (Elizabeth)

"So you say the other one Kira found also had a blessing?" (I)

"It's hard to say without seeing it in person, but there is a possibility." (Elizabeth)

I can't understand why he kills his own men like that, he should use them to protect himself or do things in his place, I don't understand why he's killing his subordinates.

--------------

Another 5 days have passed, and I haven't found any new clues and that's strange, but thanks to our collaborator within the government of that city, thanks to that I discovered that the missing persons cases were returning to normal parameters.

"Yes, the Spirits themselves are the best sacrifice and can be completely utilized by the Evil God, while the Contractors have Spiritual affinity and Spiritual Energy, all of this is suitable for him." (Elizabeth)

"The greater the amount of energy and vitality the better." (Elizabeth)

"These types of sacrifices are made in sacred places or with ritual weapons or are made by people possessing the blessing of God." (Elizabeth)

I already imagined that the Disappearances were some kind of Sacrifice to the Evil God, the films, series, cartoons, and games in my world influenced me to associate Evil Gods with sacrifices of people, and because of this I reached conclusions skipping the phase of understanding about the reason why these sacrifices are useful to this Evil God.

With everything I heard, a scenario forms in my mind, the reason this Evil God chose this "Planet" full of strong people, the reason is that the stronger someone becomes, their amount of energy and vitality increases, this reduces the number of sacrifices needed for this Evil God to accumulate power or whatever his goal is.

"Let's assume this Evil God has people with his Blessing or using these ritual weapons in this tournament, whoever he kills will still count as a Sacrifice for him?" (I)

"Yes, that still counts as a sacrifice and before you ask, only a Deity would notice." (Elizabeth)

"(Call me Detective Zenos...)" (I)

While I was feeling like every detective's hero in his moment of glory as he realized the criminals' plot, I suddenly realized something that made all those good feelings sink into a pit of magma when I looked at my sister.

Looking at her calm face while drinking the tea that was left on the table, I realize something.

"Don't look at me like that, you did well, my... come on, you don't need to act so immature." (Elizabeth)

"People were dying and you knew all this I just discovered how long ago?" (I)

"From the first day, I saw the tournament sign and also heard Vallar talking about the disappearances, it wasn't difficult to discover the biggest chance of the cause of all this." (Elizabeth)

"But I must say that this Evil God is bolder than I expected." (Elizabeth)

"Elizabeth, give me a reason not to turn my back on you right now." (I)

"Because knowing this before wouldn't have changed anything, tracking this type of thing in this city is impossible in the short term, the tournament will be our best opportunity and that's why I waited until the day before the start to tell you, in the meantime this experience It's going to be important to you." (Elizabeth) n/)In

"You went too far this time, people's lives are not pawns in your schemes." (I)

"Don't try to lecture me, you're too young, your concepts of good and evil are too simple, you only see in the now when tomorrow is where the eyes of rulers are always fixed." (Elizabeth)

"Use the experience to... sigh..." (Elizabeth)

Before she starts speaking I leave everything behind as I stand up, my anger at having once again been manipulated by my sister, I normally let that go, but I couldn't let that happen again, I need to make my position on this matter clear.

"You need to give me a clear explanation or you won't enter my Dungeon again, I can't leave someone who doesn't see the value in other people's lives with my companions." (I)
